Two taxi drivers in my daily commute tell me the same story and its goes "they came and they killed our relatives and children. The Pakistan Army was brutal and there were thousands that lay about never to be remembered ". What makes this story remarkable that the story is the same but one is Bengali the other is from Swat. They were both Pakistanis once.
What drove these people to such violence? And why did they take up arms against a professional force? And why do they think that the Pakistani army was something alien to them? Instead of being a defender it was thought of being a conqueror?
It is easy to explain that they are bastards and a foreign hand is involved and that they are just plain crazy people. But in our hearts they are people who want to live a good life. They want all the things that you and I want. They have all the problems that you and I want. They love and die and shit just like you and me. At the end of the day they are humans and apart from some rare psychologies they are on average peace loving people who want a better life.
Something is seriously wrong with the state of Pakistan and the Pakistanis that live in them. We have a lesson from history. Those that support the general today stand by a man who is promoting a dangerous trend.
Is Lawless better than a society by laws made by the consenus?
